Cheers for the advice, it went ok...ish.
I started off fine, then began picking up speed, and then more speed, bu was on top of it, then my feet slipped out of the toe clips (was doing 40mph by now!)! So I just lifted my feet and applied the break for the rest of the way down, hopped onto the kerb and stopped to get back into the clips, and the rest of the journey was ok.
Going to take a while to get used to this I think! Although I am borrowing a set of spd's and some shoes tomorrow (but the shoes are a bit big), we'll see how it goes!!
